8022 Fauntleroy Way SW

Some homes occupy a street. This one answers to a forest. Directly opposite 135 acres of old growth and Puget Sound shoreline, The Nest at Lincoln Park is new construction of a caliber West Seattle almost never releases: 3,182 heated square feet, three levels, engineered to catch every hour of Northwest light. Enter beneath a lofted ceiling that lifts the whole house with it. Nine-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass carry the main level, where a chef's kitchen with commanding island and walk-in pantry presides over open living and dining. Double sliders vanish into the wall and the room becomes a 285sf covered patio. The fifth bedroom is the rarest thing here. A flexible suite with kitchenette, bath, private entry and dedicated garage access, it opens to the home as guest quarters, studio or work-from-home wing, and closes off just as easily for a long-term tenant or nightly guests drawn to the park. Buyer to verify short-term rental licensing. Four bedrooms share the level above, 3.5 baths, primary with five-piece bath and walk-in closet. The laundry commands the center of that floor. Double doors sweep open to sink, deep cabinetry, a folding counter. Nothing travels a staircase. 467sf garage, 11' ceilings. High-efficiency systems. Then the ascent: a covered third-floor deck, and above it 575 square feet of open rooftop where the sky runs unbroken and the Sound burns silver past the treeline. Mornings begin with birdsong. Evenings end with the tide.
